Registration Open for 2012 UU Living Legacy Civil Rights Pilgrimage

The next UU Living Legacy Civil Rights Pilgrimage is scheduled for October 6-13, 2012, and registration is now open. This unique bus trip is much more than a Civil Rights history tour through Alabama and Mississippi. We will be visiting historic sites and meeting veterans of the Civil Rights Movement, and will also be spending time together and with guests exploring what racism, white privilege, and barriers to equality look like today in the Southern towns we visit---and in our own hometowns.  

 

For more information and to register, please visit www.uulivinglegacy.org. Register early - costs are discounted for those who register before May 15th.
